Overview
The New York University Law Review was founded in 1924 as a collaborative effort between law students and members of the local bar. Between 1924 and 1950, it was variously known as the Annual Review of the Law School of New York University, the New York University Law Quarterly Review, and the New York University Law Review. Since 1950, it has been known exclusively as the New York University Law Review.
The Law Review publishes six issues per year in April, May, June, October, November, and December. Circulation is about 1,500. The journal publishes a wide range of scholarship by professors and judges, with a particular emphasis on legal theory, administrative law, environmental law, legal history, and international law. In addition, the Law Review is known for its commitment to student scholarship. In 2006, it published twenty-six articles written by law students.
The Law Review ranks fourth in Washington & Lee Law School's overall law review rankings, following Harvard, Yale, and Columbia. With Yale, it ranks first in "impact factor," a measure of the average number of times each published article is cited.
The current Editor-in-Chief is Yan Cao.
